1. OVERVIEW Altina GBT709 Bluetooth wireless GPS Receiver is a total solution GPS receiver with Bluetooth, UART interface and built-in rechargeable battery for high sensitivity to tracking signal. GBT709 is a dual-function GPS receiver. Not only transmit satellite information through the PDA or Notebook with Bluetooth interfaces but also G-Mouse GPS receiver through a data cable. GBT709 provide you various applications such as car navigation, mapping, surveying, security, agriculture and so on. GBT709 communicates with other device through Bluetooth wireless function and compatible interface of RS-232 or USB. Indeed, built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery offer you a convenient use in drive and also can save satellite information such as the status of satellite signal, the last location, date and time for last use. With low power consumption, the GBT709 can track up to 20 satellites at a time, and re-acquires satellite signals in 100 ms and updates position data every second. Trickle-Power allows the unit operates a fraction of the time and Push-to-Fix permits user to have a quick position fix even though the receiver usually stays off.
